I understand. I am not trying to be a pain or ungrateful. I realize AO-51 is having some troubles (based on your last status updates) but the above statements are still unclear when I should or shouldn't go out to listen to a pass. That's all I was saying. I want you and the team to do what is necessary obviously to get the most out of the AO-51 project. I just felt miserable after standing in the rain twice and hearing nothing! 73 -aps _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
